I'm sorry you are so worried and concerned about Peapumpkin! First off, you did the right thing by bringing her into the vet. Smacking her lips can be a sign of nausea in cats. If she has bronchitis, she will be feeling unwell and not want to eat and hide. It will take time for the medications to take effect, and I would keep offering her the warmed smelly wet food and some boiled white meat chicken (no rice). Give the medications 24 hours to take effect, and then if she still isn't eating and is hiding, I would worry then and have her seen by a vet.
